fbrepostbot
This application copies content from facebook pages to facebook pages (currently only that).
How to use?
Obtain jar.
Build it or download jar from build server.
mvn package
Configure main.conf.
After downloading put main.conf to folder with jar and configure it.
// Path to data folder.
dataPath = ./data/
// Path to fodler exposed by webserver.
publicPath = ./public/
// URL of exposed public folder.
publicPathUrl = http://google.com
Configure access.conf.
Then put access.conf to your data folder (specified in main.conf).
// Facebook access token.
accessToken = YOURCOOLACCESSTOKEN
Create rules for reposting / configure repost.conf.
Reposting
Then create repost.conf file in your data folder.
Each line in file represents mapping in format {source-page-id} -> {target-page-id}.
You can find id of page by accessing https://graph.facebook.com/{page-name}.
Crawling only
If you do not want to repost content from page, only crawl it, use NO_TARGET as target page id.
Example repost.conf
1234567890000 -> 1515151515155
1212128585858 -> 1515151515155
8599211188821 -> NO_TARGET
Summary
Your folder structure should now look like this:
data
access.conf
repost.conf
main.conf
fbrepost.jar
Final step
Run jar with java!
java -jar fbrepost.jar
Future steps
- Make use of Facebook subscription API. It provides nicer way to get nofitied about new posts then periodic checking.
